[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With the new principal, QO’s football history might decline anyway if they center the focus on academics.[/quote]

They should start by capping the number of players. When you have 100 kids on a football team you know to many there because they pay fees and not because they have any chance to play [/quote]
Lol, you never played football for a high school powerhouse, did you? I cannot express how huge high school football is in small town Ohio. The season my local high school won the state championship, against all odds, and the following year, we had over 100 boys on the team (no cuts; if you stuck with it through two-a-days in the August heat and conditioning and practices, you were on the team). None were recruited by our coaches, all were zoned for our school. This was a school with only about 900 students enrolled!

The football program turned quite a profit. We didn’t need the measly athletic fees, which didn’t cover all the expenses anyway. To participate in playoff games on artificial turf, we had bought all 100+ players special cleats, whether they were going to see any playing time or not. It meant something to those young men to be part of the program. They weren’t kept on for the fees they paid.[/quote]

Cool story. At qo players sell fundraising coupons and bring in money. One year kids were told they dont get jerseys if they dont sell the coupons they got. Your coach new you wasn't going play after watching you for two days. They wasted your time. You think coaches that recruit players in to take away opportunities from kids is keeping kids on out of the goodness in there heart?  [/quote]
